In the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Semuanya is the deity worshipped by the lizardfolk race in many campaign settings. James M. Ward created Semuanya in the 1980 D&D supplement manual Deities and Demigods.
Semuanya appears as a large lizardfolk warrior of indeterminate gender wielding a great club with sharp shells at the tip. This deity is solely devoted to the survival and propagation of the lizardfolk race, and is completely neutral in alignment. Lizardfolk tribes often contain shamans and clerics who derive power from the worship of Semuanya, but the lizardfolk do not normally build temples to this god.
The great Bog where Semuanya dwells can be found on the neutral plane of Concordant Opposition in Greyhawk and most other D&D campaign worlds, while in the Forgotten Realms campaign world, Semuanya is an aspect of the "World Serpent" deity worshipped in different forms by the various reptilian races. The symbol of Semuanya is a single reptile egg.
Semuanya's priests wear blue-green hide kilts. His sacred animal is the alligator. His holy day is the full moon and he is worshipped at stone shrines. Hunting prizes are sacrificed to him monthly.
